@ -22,6 +22,6 @@ The plugin now can be configured to overwrite the username or mail address used
`Overwrite user cryptkey` can be activated to prevent SnappyMail from asking the user for his old LDAP password when this password was changed or reseted. SnappyMail saves the passwords of the additional accounts by encrypting them using a cryptkey that is saved in the file `.cryptkey`. When the password of the main account changes, SnappyMail asks the user for the old password to reencrypt the keys with the new userpassword.
On a password change using ldap (or when the password has been forgotten by the user) this makes problems and asks the user to insert the old password. Therefore activating this option overwrites the .cryptkey file on login in order to always accept the actual ldap password of the user.
**ATTENTION:** This has side effects on pgp keys because these are also secured by the cryptkey and could therefore not be accessible anymore! See https://github.com/the-djmaze/snappymail/issues/1570#issuecomment-2085528061

See https://github.com/the-djmaze/snappymail/issues/1570#issuecomment-2085528061 . This has also an impact on additional mail accounts that aren't created by this plugin because without the cryptkey saved passwords of additional mail accounts can not be decrypted anymore.
**Important:** SnappyMail normally needs a mail address as username. This plugin handles some special circumstances (login with an ldap username, not a mail address) so that you can login to your IMAP server with the ldap username but send mails with a mail address connected to this ldap user.
